Marvel's Teases Hickman & Cheung's FCBD Thanos Story: "Infinity"

"I can't tell you too much now, but I can say that in two weeks we're going to reveal the [FCBD] cover and suddenly the light bulbs will go off around the CBR message boards," Axel Alonso told CBR in a recent AXEL-IN-CHARGE. Today, the Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics has kept to his word with the release of the publisher's Free Comic Book Day cover -- a Thanos-starring image drawn by Jim Cheung for a story illustrated by Cheung and written by current Avengers architect Jonathan Hickman.

"We've said how 'Nova,' 'Thanos Rising,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and Jonathan Hickman's 'Avengers' are all shaping the future of the Marvel Universe - this image will very specifically answer the question of 'How?'" Alonso continued. "Our FCBD issue features an all-new story that leads into a huge epic later in the year, along with a heavily demanded reprint of a character's first solo story and a beautiful new cover by one of our top cover artists. This same cover will be on FCBD t-shirts this year, so that gives you an idea of the scale and importance of what we're bringing you this year."
